Freezing in Philly

Best of luck to CT (Matt Szymaszek) and Walsh (Matt Walsh), who will be running the Philly Marathon on Sunday.

Just got off the phone with CT and he informed me the race starts at 7 a.m. Yikes. I checked www.wunderground.com and noted that it will be about 27 degrees at that time. But with a light wind, so actually pretty decent marathon racing conditions.

Unsolicited advice to my boys: Go out at a conservative pace. Don't blow it over the first 8-10km. Stay comfortable. And then it's just a 20-mile hard run. Look at it that way.

Best of luck to them, and any other alums/runners reading this, at Philly.

For those of you coming to Vanny on Saturday morning: IT WILL BE COLD. But dry.

See you soon.
